FIG. 1 shows a typical application scenario of the present disclosure. A second network device recommends the second social user information to a first user based on the first user identification information, and an access point identification information of a wireless access point. Here, the first user identification information can be sent by the user equipment to the first network device, and then sent by the first network device to the second network device. The access point identification information is sent by the first network device to the second network device. The second social user information can be sent to the first network device by the second network device, and then sent to the user equipment by the first network device or can be directly sent to the user equipment by the second network device. The solution is completed by the cooperation of the first network device, the second network device and the user equipment. For example, the first network device may be a hotspot server, and the second network device may be a social server. In another example, the first network device and the second network device are on the same server.

FIG. 2 shows a method for recommending a social user at the first network device end according to the first aspect of the present disclosure. The method includes step S11, step S12, step S13, and step S14. In step S11, the first network device acquires the first user identification information corresponding to the user equipment, wherein, the user equipment is wirelessly connected to the wireless access point. In step S12, the first network device sends the first user identification information and the corresponding access point identification information of the wireless access point to the second network device. In step S13, the first network device receives one or more pieces of the second social user information returned by the second network device, wherein, the second social user information corresponds to the access point identification information. In step S14, the first network device sends at least one of the one or more pieces of the second social user information to the user equipment.

Specifically, in step S11, the first network device acquires the first user identification information corresponding to the user equipment, wherein, the user equipment is wirelessly connected to the wireless access point. For example, the first user holds the user equipment, and the user equipment establish a wireless connection to a wireless access point. The user equipment sends the first user identification information (such as a mobile phone number, or the like) to the first network device by the wireless connection, and the first network device receives the first user identification information, wherein, the first user identification information may also be the first user identification information which is bound with the access point identification information of the wireless access point.

Then, in step S12, the first network device sends the first user identification information and the corresponding access point identification information of the wireless access point to the second network device. For example, the first network device receives the first user identification information, then sends the first user identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point, to which the user equipment is connected to the second network device.

Then, in step S13, the first network device receives the one or more pieces of the second social user information returned by the second network device, wherein, the second social user information corresponds to the access point identification information. For example, the second network device receives the first user identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point. Then the second network device consistently generates the one or more pieces of the second social user information, and sends the one or more pieces of the second social user information to the first network device. The first network device receives the one or more pieces of the second social user information, wherein, the device corresponding to the second social user was once connected to the wireless access point, or is in the wireless connection state to the wireless access point.

Finally, in step S14, the first network device sends at least one of the one or more pieces of the second social user information to the user equipment. For example, the first network device receives the one or more pieces of the second social user information, and then returns at least one of the one or more pieces of the second social user information to the user equipment. The user equipment receives at least one of the one or more pieces of the second social user information to complete the recommendation.

For example, user A holds the user equipment (e.g., a mobile phone), and the user equipment establishes a wireless connection to a wireless access point. The hotspot server acquires user A identification information corresponding to the user equipment (such as the mobile phone number authenticated by user A real-name information, the medium access control (MAC) address of the user equipment of user A). For example, the wireless access point invokes the medium access control (MAC) address of the user equipment based on the user' operation, and queries and matches user A identification information in the hotspot server in a mapping relationship table in which the access point identification information matches the wireless access point. The hotspot server sends user A identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point, which the user equipment is connected, to the social server. The social server receives user A identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point, then correspondingly queries and matches user A with social accounts. According to the access point identification information, one or more pieces of second social user information (such as the social account information of users B and C) in the mapping relationship table, which has stored the social user information and the access point identification information, wherein, the equipment corresponding to the second social user was once connected to the wireless access point or is in the wireless connection state to the wireless access point. The social server sends at least one of the one or more pieces of the second social user information to the hotspot server, and the hotspot server sends the second social user information to the user equipment after receiving. After the user equipment receives and presents the second social user information, user A decides whether to add the second social user as a friend according to the presented second social user information.

Preferably, in step S11, the first network device receives the first user identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point uploaded by the wireless connection between the user equipment and the wireless access point. For example, the user equipment establish a wireless connection to a wireless access point, the user equipment uploads the first user identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point by the wireless connection between the user equipment and the wireless access point, and then the first network device receives the first user identification information and the access point identification information.

For example, user A holds the user equipment, and the user equipment establishes a wireless connection to a wireless access point. The hotspot server acquires user A identification information corresponding to the user equipment and the access point identification information of the wireless access point. For example, the user equipment sends user A identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point to the hotspot server by the wireless connection, and the hotspot server receives user A identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point, wherein, user A identification information may be uploaded for the first time or user A identification information is already bound to the access point identification information (such as a SSID (service set identifier)) of the wireless access point. The hotspot server sends user A identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point, which the user equipment is connected, to the social server, wherein, the access point identification information of the wireless access point may be sent by the user equipment or acquired by the hotspot server through the communication protocol. The social server receives user A identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point, and then correspondingly determines one or more pieces of the second social user information according to the access point identification information. The social server sends at least one of the one or more pieces of the second social user information to the hotspot server, and the hotspot server sends at least one of the one or more pieces of the second social user information to the user equipment after receiving. After the user equipment receives and presents the one or more pieces of the second social user information, user A decides whether to add the second social user as a friend according to the one or more pieces of the second social user information.

Preferably, in step S12, the first network device establishes a first mapping relationship between the first user identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point, and sends the first mapping relationship to the second network device. Subsequently, in step S13, the first network device receives one or more pieces of the second social user information returned by the second network device, wherein, the second social user information has a second mapping relationship with the access point identification information. For example, after receiving the first network identifier information, the first network device establishes a first mapping relationship between the first user identifier information and the access point identifier information of the wireless access point according to the connected wireless access point and the frequency of connection to the wireless access point, and stores the first mapping relationship. Meanwhile, the first network device sends the first mapping relationship, the first user identification information and the access point identification information to the second network device, wherein, the first mapping relationship may be newly established or updated on an existing basis. The second network device receives the first user identification information, the access point identification information and the first mapping relationship, and then determines one or more pieces of second social user information in the second mapping relationship table based on the access point identification information, and sends at least one of the one or more pieces of the second social user information to the first network device, wherein, a second mapping relationship is established between the second social user information and the access point identification information. Subsequently, the first network device receives at least one of the one or more pieces of the second social user information.

For example, the user equipment sends user A identification information to the hotspot server by a wireless connection between the user equipment and a wireless access point. The hotspot server receives user A identification information, then establishes or updates the first mapping relationship between user A identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point, and stores the first mapping relationship, wherein, the first mapping relationship includes the wireless access point identification information to which user A identification information is connected and the connection frequency. The hotspot server sends user A identification information, the access point identification information of the wireless access point, and the first mapping relationship to the social server. The social server queries the second mapping relationship table according to the access point identification information, and correspondingly determines one or more pieces of second social user information (e.g., social user information of users B, C, and others). The social server sends at least one of the one or more pieces of the second social user information to the hotspot server. The hotspot server receives the second social user information and sends at least one of the second social user information to the user equipment. After the user equipment receives and presents the second social user information sent by the hotspot server, user A decides whether to add the second social user as a friend according to the presented second social user information.

Preferably, the first user identification information includes the first social user information corresponding to the user. Specifically, in step S12, the first network device sends the first user identification information and the corresponding access point identification information of the wireless access point to the second network device, wherein, the second network device provides the social application service to which the first social user information belongs. For example, the first network device sends the first user identification information and the corresponding access point identification information of the wireless access point to the second network device. Wherein, the first user identification information may be the mobile phone number authenticated by the first user real-name information, the MAC address of the mobile phone, or the first social user information of the first user corresponding to the social application service provided by the second network device.

For example, the user equipment sends user A identification information to the hotspot server by a wireless connection between the user equipment and a wireless access point, wherein, user A identification information may be the mobile phone number authenticated by user A real-name information, the MAC address information of the mobile phone, or the social user information of user A corresponding to the social application service of the social server. The hotspot server receives user A identification information. Then establishes or updates the first mapping relationship between user A identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point and stores the first mapping relationship. The hotspot server sends user A identification information, the access point identification information, and the first mapping relationship to the social server. The social server correspondingly determines one or more pieces of second social user information (e.g., social user information of users B, C, and others) based on the access point identification information. The social server sends at least one of the one or more pieces of the second social user information to the hotspot server. The hotspot server sends the second social user information to the user equipment after receiving. After the user equipment receives and presents the second social user information, user A decides whether to add the second social user as a friend according to the second social user information.

Preferably, the method further includes step S15 (not shown in the drawings). In step S15, the first network device sends the first social user information corresponding to the first user identification information to the equipment corresponding to the second social user information. For example, after receiving the first user identification information and the access point identification information, the second network device determines one or more pieces of second social user information and the second user identification information corresponding to the second social user information based on the access point identification information in the second mapping relationship table, and determines the first social user information corresponding to the first user in the second network device based on the first user identification information. Subsequently, the second network device sends the second user identification information corresponding to the one or more pieces of the second social user information and the first social user information to the first network device. The first network device receives the second user identification information and the first social user information, and then sends the first social user information to the second user equipment corresponding to the second user identification information. After the second user equipment receives and presents the first social user information, the second user corresponding to the second user equipment decides whether to add the first social user as a friend based on the presented first social user information.

For example, the user equipment sends user A identification information to the hotspot server by a wireless connection between the user equipment and a wireless access point. After receiving user A identification information, the hotspot server sends user A identification information and the access point identification information to the social server. The social server queries in the second mapping relationship table according to the access point identification information, correspondingly determines one or more pieces of second social user information (e.g., social user information of users B, C, and others), and determines the second user identification information corresponding to the second social user in the first mapping relationship table. The social server also determines the social user information of user A corresponding to user A in the social server based on user A identification information. The social server sends at least one of the one or more pieces of the second social user information, the second user identification information, and the social user information of user A to the hotspot server. After receiving the second social user information, the second user identification information, and the social user information of the A, the hotspot server sends the second social user information to the user equipment corresponding to user A. After the user equipment corresponding to user A receives and presents the second social user information, user A decides whether to add the second social user as a friend based on the presented second social user information. The hotspot server also sends the social user information of user A to the second user equipment corresponding to the second user identification information. After the second user equipment receives and presents the social user information of user A, the second user (e.g., user B or C) corresponds to the second user equipment and decides whether to add user A as a friend based on the offered social user information of user A.

Preferably, the method further includes step S16 (not shown in the drawings). In step S16, the first network device determines the preferred second social user information from the one or more pieces of the second social user information. Subsequently, in step S14, the first network device sends at least one of the preferred second social user information to the user equipment. For example, if the first network device receives multiple pieces of the second social user information, the preferred second social user information is determined from the multiple pieces of second social user information based on the first mapping relationship table, and then at least one of the preferred second social user information is sent to the user equipment. Here, the first mapping relationship table may be a set of mapping relationships between all the user equipment, the access point identification information of wireless access points to which all the user equipment is connected and the connection frequency thereof.

For example, the user equipment sends user A identification information to the hotspot server by a wireless connection between the user equipment and a wireless access point. The hotspot server receives user A identification information, then establishes or updates the first mapping relationship between user A identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point and stores the first mapping relationship. The hotspot server sends user A identification information, the access point identification information, and the first mapping relationship to the social server, and the social server correspondingly determines one or more pieces of second social user information (e.g., social user information of users B, C, and others), according to the access point identification information. The social server sends at least one of the one or more pieces of the second social user information to the hotspot server. After receiving the second social user information, the hotspot server determines the preferred second social user information based on the first mapping relationship table, and sends the preferred second social user information to the user equipment. After the user equipment receives and presents the preferred second social user information, user A determines whether to add the preferred second social user as a friend, based on the presented preferred second social user information.

Furthermore, the preferred second social user information satisfies at least one of the following requirements: the equipment corresponding to the preferred second social user information is in a wireless connection state to the wireless access point; the connection frequency between the equipment corresponding with the preferred second social user information and the wireless access point reaches a threshold of the connection frequency; the equipment corresponding the preferred second social user information has at least one other same wireless access point as the user equipment; the number of the same wireless access points which the equipment corresponding the preferred second social user information and the user equipment are connected, reaches a threshold of the number of the same hotspots. For example, if the equipment corresponding to the second social user information is in a wireless connection state to the wireless access point, the second social user is selected as the preferred second social user information. In another example, the first network device preferably selects the second social user information according to the first mapping relationship table. In another example, if the number of connection wireless access point of the second user equipment corresponding to the second social user, and the first user equipment reaches a threshold of the connection number, the second social user information is selected as the preferred second social user information. In another example, the first network device organizes the received one or more pieces of the second social user information in descending order according to the connection frequency between the second user equipment corresponding to the second social user information and the wireless access point, and takes the first N pieces of the second social user information as the preferred second social user information. Wherein, N is a preset first number threshold. In another example, if there is at least one other same wireless access point to which the second user equipment corresponding to the second social user information and the first user equipment are connected, the second social user information is selected as the preferred second social user information. In another example, if the number of the same wireless access points to which the second user equipment corresponding to the second social user information and the first user equipment are connected reaches the threshold of the number of the same hotspots, the second social user information is selected as the preferred second social user information. In another example, the first network device organizes the received one or more pieces of the second social user information in descending order according to the number of the same wireless access points to which the second user equipment corresponding to the second social user information and the first user equipment are connected, and takes the first M second social users as the preferred second social user information. Wherein, M is a preset first number threshold.

For example, the user equipment sends user A identification information to the hotspot server by a wireless connection between the user equipment and a wireless access point. The hotspot server receives user A identification information, then establishes or updates the first mapping relationship between user A identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point and stores the first mapping relationship. The hotspot server sends user A identification information, the access point identification information and the first mapping relationship to the social server, and the social server correspondingly determines one or more pieces of second social user information (e.g., social user information of users B, C, and others) according to the access point identification information. The social server sends at least one of the one or more pieces of the second social user information to the hotspot server. The hotspot server receives the second social user information, and then preferably selects the second social user information based on the first mapping relationship table. For example, if the equipment corresponding to the second social user information is in the wireless connection state to the wireless access point, the second social user is selected as the preferred second social user information. In another example, if the number of connection wireless access point to which the second user equipment corresponding to the second social user and the first user equipment are connected reaches a threshold of the connection number, the second social user information is selected as the preferred second social user information. In another example, the hotspot server organizes the received one or more pieces of the second social user information in descending order according to the connection frequency between the second user equipment corresponding to the second social user information and the wireless access point, and takes the first N pieces of second social user information as the preferred second social user information, wherein, N is a preset first number threshold. In another example, if there is at least one other same wireless access point to which the second user equipment corresponding to the second social user information and the first user equipment are connected, the second social user information is selected as the preferred second social user information. In another example, if the number of the same wireless access points to which the second user equipment corresponding to the second social user information and the first user equipment are connected reaches the threshold of the number of the same hotspots, the second social user information is selected as the preferred second social user information. In another example, the hotspot server organizes the received one or more pieces of the second social user information in descending order according to the number of the same wireless access points to which the second user equipment corresponding to the second social user information and the first user equipment are connected, and takes the first M pieces of second social user information as the preferred second social user information, wherein, M is a preset first number threshold. The hotspot server sends the preferred second social user information to the user equipment. After the user equipment receives and presents the preferred second social user information, user A decides whether to add the preferred second social user as a friend according to the presented preferred second social user information.

Preferably, in step S14, the first network device sends recommended information about the one or more pieces of the second social user information to the user equipment. For example, the first network device determines a recommended information of the second social user information based on the first mapping relationship table, wherein, the recommended information includes the second social user information and the mapping relationship between the second user identification information corresponding to the second social user information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point. In another example, the first network device generates the recommended information of the second social user information based on the second social user information and the mapping relationship between the second user identification information corresponding to the second social user information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point, so as to assist the first user corresponding to the user equipment in deciding whether to add the second social user information as a friend. Subsequently, the first network device sends the recommended information to the user equipment.

For example, the user equipment sends user A identification information to the hotspot server by a wireless connection between the user equipment and a wireless access point. The hotspot server receives user A identification information, then establishes or updates the first mapping relationship between user A identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point and stores the first mapping relationship.

The social server searches in the second mapping relationship table according to the access point identification information, and correspondingly determines one or more pieces of second social user information (e.g., social user information of users B, C, and others). The social server sends at least one of the one or more pieces of the second social user information to the hotspot server. After receiving, the hotspot server determines the recommended information of the second social user information based on the first mapping relationship table. Wherein, the recommended information includes the second social user information and the mapping relationship between the second user identification information corresponding to the second social user information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point. For example, the hotspot server generates the recommended information of the second social user information based on the second social user information and the mapping relationship between the second user identification information corresponding to the second social user information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point. Subsequently, the hotspot server sends the recommended information of the second social user information to the user equipment. After the user equipment receives and presents the recommended information of the second social user information, user A decides whether to add the second social user as a friend according to the existing recommended information of the second social user, wherein, the recommended information is used to assist the first user corresponding to the user equipment to decide whether to add the second social user information as a friend.

Furthermore, the recommended information includes at least one of the following: the access point identification information; the second user identification information corresponding to the second social user information; the connection frequency of the equipment corresponding to the second social user information to the wireless access point; at least one of other same wireless access points between the equipment corresponding to the second social user information and the user equipment.

In another example, the recommended information may include, in the first mapping relationship table, the connection frequency of the second user equipment corresponding to the second social user information relationship, and the wireless access point. In another example, the recommended information may also include other wireless access points to which both the second user equipment corresponding to the second social user information and the first user equipment are connected, other that this wireless access point.

For example, the user equipment sends user A identification information to the hotspot server by a wireless connection between the user equipment and a wireless access point. The hotspot server receives user A identification information, then establishes or updates the first mapping relationship between user A identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point, and stores the first mapping relationship.

For example, user A holds the user equipment (e.g., a mobile phone), and the user equipment establishes a wireless connection to a wireless access point. The hotspot server acquires user A identification information corresponding to the user equipment (such as the mobile phone number authenticated by user A real-name information, the medium access control (MAC) address of the user equipment of user A). For example, the wireless access point invokes the medium access control (MAC) address of the user equipment based on the user operation, and queries and matches user A identification information in the hotspot server in a mapping relationship table in which the access point identification information matches the wireless access point. The hotspot server sends user A identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point, which the user equipment is connected to the social server. The social server receives user A identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point, and then correspondingly inquires and matches.

For example, based on the user's operation in the user equipment, the user equipment sends the first user identification information to the first network device by the wireless connection between the user equipment and the wireless access point.

For example, user A holds the user equipment (e.g., a mobile phone), and the user equipment establishes a wireless connection to a wireless access point. Based on the operation of user A in the user equipment, the user equipment sends the first user identification information to the hotspot server by a wireless connection between the user equipment and a wireless access point. The hotspot server sends user A identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point, which the user equipment is connected to, to the social server. The social server receives user A identification information and the access point identification information of the wireless access point, and then correspondingly inquires and matches, according to the access point identification information, one or more pieces of second social user information (such as the social account information of users B and C) in the mapping relationship table which has stored the social user information and the access point identification information. The social server sends at least one of the one or more pieces of the second social user information to the hotspot server, and the hotspot server sends the second social user information to the user equipment after receiving. After the user equipment receives and presents the second social user information, user A decides whether to add the second social user as a friend according to the presented second social user information.

Preferably, the first user identification information includes the social user information corresponding to the user in the social application of the user equipment. For example, the first user identification information may also include the first social user information corresponding to the first user in the second network device.
